Seriously, whilst I agree, what can I do about it.

I can't raise the capital to start any business that could challenge these things. I work too many hours to sustain my family to do anything serious as a side project.

I can't find anywhere more progressive to work than where I am, if I could I would move. I have a set of skills which seem to match what Marc wants, yet I earn less than the sales and marketing people.

I can't vote for a political party that wants these things because they don't exist, and couldn't exist in the UK without a massive benefactor.

All I can contribute is an upvote to your article. If someone would buy me a house for my family, and enough cash to run it I would join this crusade. Until then, just an upvote.
